Another bad day for NVidia. Shortly after they announced that there were laptop chips prone to failure, they’re high end 790i chipset is being axed by some motherboard manufacturers. The board will be dropped from the websites of top motherboard manufacturers, such as Foxconn. Foxconn say that they are dropping the board because the 790i “chip is not of the quality standard that we needed for the Quantum Force range”. Other sources blame compatibility issues for the removal of the boards.
For Intel however, it’s been a great few weeks. They’re X48 is looking like the new top of the range chip, and the X58 is just around the corner. The news also comes shortly after Intel announced that they had sold 500,000 of their new Classmate to Portugal, and that Facebook were to use Intel processors in their servers.
